"A CLOUD OF WITNESSES

A Collection of Testimonies from Men
and Women of Genius, in Behalf of the
Final Triumph of Good over Evil. By
Rev. j. W. Hanson, d. d. Large limo.
324 pages. $1.00. Address Western
Branch.
This is one Of the most interesting and
valuable books published by our denom-
nation. Its title is suggested by Hebrews
xii. l: Wherefore seeing we are also
comprised about with so great cloud Of
Witnesses and its object is to bring to
geSher the various testimonies which
have been given from age to age regard
ing the great truth of our church, the
final victory of good over evil, issuing in
universal salvation. The "Cloud OF Wit
nesses" are therefore Witnesses to
Truth" In pursuance of this plan the
author traces the idea of Universalism in
literature, ancient and modern, and pre-
sents those passages which embody the
principles of our faith. He shows that
not only is the idea deeply rooted in
many noble minds" but that almost ev-
cry age has borne testimony in some way
to the great truth, and that modern liter
allure especially is pronounced in its ia
vor. Poets, historians, divines, novelists,
and literary persons of almost every class
are included in this 'cloud of witnesses"
Over five hundred distinct passages are
quoted, many of them clearly enunciating
the great truth, and all of them favoring
it in some way that entities them to rec
ogniton. The book is well printed; the
Introductory paragraphs are in large,
handsome type, and the quotations in
smaller type of the same general appear
anee, making very attractive page. The
introduction by the compiler occupies
twelve pages, and is valuable review Of
the whole subject.

TREATISE ON THE AroNEMENr

By Hosea Ballou. With an introduce
ton by Rev. A. A. Miner, ID. D., LID.
Fourth edition, from new plates. 12mo
2S6 pages. rs cents. Address the West
ern Branch.
The first edition of the Treatise on
Atonement appeared in 1906. The third,
twenty-five years later. This one (1S82),
is divided into chapters and contains an
introduction by Rev. DR.. Miner, in which
the history and doctrine of the work are
reviewed with conspicuous ability.
Rev. t. B. Thayer, DID,, says of the
work, in the Universalist Quarterly for
October, 1882:
"We welcome the book as one worthy, for
many reasons, to be studied by the present
generation in connection with the history of
New England theology; in the reconstruction
of which it has probably had a greater influ-
ence, though unacknowledged, than any other
work of the century. Consider what it was to
think out and write such a work on such ques-
ton at the time and under the circumstances
the condition and temper of the religious
world; the surroundings of the author, with
no education beyond what common country
school could furnish hundred years ago; the
absence of all external helps from libraries, lee
lures and literary and theological magazines;
without one scholarly friend to whom he could
turn for information or critical aid in his
study of the Scriptures, and with no books of
his own beside the Bible and the dictionary;
single handed and alone, with scarcely a
friend to bid him God speed in his eager and
conscientious search for truth;-under all
these discouragements this young man began
a course of Biblical study and religio-philo-
sophieal inquiry which ended in the produo-
tion of what, all the difficulties considered,
may be truly characterized as a most remark
able work."
1T is written in plain, simple style, while
the subject upon which it treats is presented
with great force and ability No Universaist
should be without it. Hosea Ballou, prOba-
bly,, did more TO spread Universalism, than
any man of modern mes."-ReU. j. G. Bur-
